For OP, I am sorry to read this thread, negative trust indeed is a game changer if you got one, well you can say it broke your life.
But if you re a legendary member, i think you already know that this forum always update the rules if anything new to be implemented. And i guess it is a usual/normal things to search about something new before you try or do something with it.Because you give 50 merit points to someone random (your point of view) and the post is not good too, you can be accused of things, such as :
1. Selling merit points.
2. Sending merit points to your alts.
3. Etc
There are much to do to prove that you re not guilty beside only making a thread about it. And i guess it will be hard to prove that you re not guilty because the lack of evidences. If you have enough evidences, maybe you can talk to the one who gives you red trust.
And for many times, i already say this so many times since merit points implemented because people keep telling that this forum should be decentralized because it is about cryptocurrency and bitcoin.
No ! This is a forum, a space rented/made by someone and that person gives us that space to make community. It is owned by that person who created it and hosted it. He/She can make anything to this forum because it is his/her. We do not pay for their expense to make this forum to be happen, and we dont own this forum. It is a business that is created by someone and we cant say this is our forum and He/She does not need to hear us out about some decision he/she made. It is just happen that this forum main topic is cryptocurrency.
